DISABLED ACCESS REVIEW LIST
REMODELS, ADDITIONS AND REPAIRS
1. When alterations, structural repairs or modifications or additions are made to an
existing building, that building, or portion of the building affected, is required to
comply with all of the requirements for new buildings, per Section 1 134B.2. These
requirements apply as follows:
a) A primary entrance to the building and the priman/ path of travel to the
altered area, must be shown to comply with all accessibility features.
Include on the site plan the location of the disabled access parking as
close as possible to the remodeled area. Also include a dimensional
plan of the parking to supplement the notes found on sheet SP1.0
Existing sanitary facilities that serve the remodeled area must be shown to
comply with all accessibility features. The response to this item was “this
phase of the project only pertains to exterior modification. An interior
phase will include the rest room upgrades” Since the existing lobby
rest rooms are the only ones that would serve the people using the
remodeled entrance the existing rest rooms must be shown to comply
with the current disabled access standards for this exterior remodel.
Any appeal of this requirement must be reviewed and approved by the
building official.

PLAN REVIEWER: Ray Fuller
FOREWORD (PLEASE READ):
This plan review is limited to the technical requirements contained in the Uniform Building Code,
Uniform Plumbing Code, Uniform Mechanical Code, National Electrical Code and state laws
regulating energy conservation, noise attenuation and access for the disabled. This plan review
is based on regulations enforced by the Building Department. You may have other corrections
based on laws and ordinance by the Planning Department, Engineering Department, Fire
Department or other departments. Clearance from those departments may be required prior to
the issuance of a building permit.
Present California law mandates that residential construction comply with the 2001 edition of
the California Building Code (Title 24), which adopts the following model codes: 1997 UBC,
2000 UPC, 2000 UMC and 1999 NEC (all effective 11/1/02).
The above regulations apply to residential construction, regardless of the code editions adopted
by ordinance.
The following items listed need clarification, modification or change. All items must be satisfied
before the plans will be in conformance with the cited codes and regulations. Per Sec. 106.4.3,
1997 Uniform Building Code, the approval of the plans does not permit the violation of any
state, county or city law.
To speed up the recheck process, please note on this list (or a copy) where each
correction item has been addressed, Le., plan sheet number, specification section, etc.
Be sure to enclose the marked up list when you submit the revised plans.

WATER METER REVIEW
12a. Domestic (potable) Use
Ensure that the meter proposed by the owner/developer is not oversized.
Oversized meters are inaccurate during low-flow conditions. If it is oversized, for
the life of the meter, the City will not accurately bill the owner for the water used.
All single family dwelling units received "standard" 1" service with 38" service.
5 Rev. 7l14KlO
BUILDING PLANCHECK CHECKLIST
qST 2ND 3RD
If owner/developer proposes a size other than the “standard”, then
owner/developer must provide potable water demand calculations,
which include total fixture counts and maximum water demand in gallons
per minute (gpm). A typical fixture count and water demand worksheet is
attached. Once the gpm is provided, check against the “meter sizing
schedule” to verify the anticipated meter size for the unit.
Maximum service and meter size is a 2” service with a 2” meter.
If a developer is proposing a meter greater than 2, suggest the
installation of multiple 2 services as needed to provide the anticipated
demand. (manifolds are considered on case by case basis to limit
multiple.trenching into the street).
Irrigation Use (where recycled water is not available)
All irrigation meters must be sized via irrigation calculations (in gpm) prior
to approval. The developer must provide these calculations. Please follow
these guidelines:
1. If the project is a newer development (newer than 1998), check the recent
improvement plans and observe if the new irrigation service is reflected on
the improvement sheets. If so, at the water meter station, the demand in
gpm may be listed there. Irrigation services are listed with a circled ”I”,
and potable water is typically a circled “W. The irrigation service should
look like:
r\ STA 1+00 Install 2” service and r-l 5 1.5: meter (estimated 100 gpm)
2. If the improvement plans do not list the irrigation meter and the
service/meter will be installed via another instrument such as the building
plans or grading plans (w/ a right of way permit of course), then the
applicant must provide irrigation calculations for estimated worst-case
irrigation demand (largest zone with the farthest reach). Typically, Larry
Black has already reviewed this if landscape plans have been prepared,
but the applicant must provide the calculations to you for your use. Once
you have received a good example of irrigation calculations, keep a set for
your reference. In general the calculations will include:
0 Hydraulic grade line
0 Elevation at point of connection (POC)
0 Pressure at POC in pounds per square inch (PSI)
0 Worse case zone (largest, farthest away from valve
0 Total Sprinkler heads listed (with gpm use per head)
0 Include a 10% residual pressure at point of connection
3. In general, all major sloped areas of a subdivision/project are to be
irrigated via separate irrigation meters (unless the project is only SFD with
no HOA). As long as the project is located within the City recycled water
BUILDING PLANCHECK CHECKLIST
1ST 2ND 3R0
service boundary, the City intends on switching these irrigation
services/meters to a new recycled water line in the future.
0 0 12c. Irrigation Use (where recycled water is available) * I 1. Recycled water meters are sized the same as the irrigation meter above.
2. If a project fronts a street with recycled water, then they should be
connecting to this line to irrigate slopes within the development. For
subdivisions, this should have been identified, and implemented on the
improvement plans. Installing recycled water meters is a benefit for the
applicant since they are exempt from paying the San Diego County Water
Capacity fees. However, if they front a street which the recycled water is
there, but is not live (sometimes they are charged with potable water until
recycled water is available), then the applicant must pay the San Diego
Water Capacity Charge. If within three years, the recycled water line is
charged with recycled water by CMWD, then the applicant can apply for a
refund to the San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) for a refund.
However, let the applicant know that we cannot guarantee the refund, and
they must deal with the SDCWA for this. //

Dear Mr. and Mrs. McElroy:
In accordance with your request, we have completed a preliminary soil investigation for the
subject project. The findings and recommen'dations of our study are presented herewith.
In general, the findings of this study indicate that the site is suitable for the proposed
development. The main geotechnical conditions to be considered are the presence of
potentially compressible fill and topsoil deposits, and very highly expansive soils. These
conditions will require special foundation and site preparation considerations.
If you have any questions after reviewing the findings and recommendations conta'ined in the
attached report, please do not hesitate to contact this office. This opportunity to be of
professional service is sincerely appTc5-d.

1. INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This report presents the results of our preliminary soil investigation for proposed additions to an
axisting residential structure located at 2440 Buena Vista Circle, in the city of Carlsbad,
California. The site location is shown on Figure No. 1,
c
It is our understanding that the subject project will consis! of extending the footprint of the
existing single story structure and adding a second story. A new garage will also be
constructed. The additions will be of wood-frame construction. New loads will generally be
supported by new shallow foundations. Most of the existing footings will be replaced by new,
relocated footings. However, the continuous footings underlying the northeastern corner of the
existing structure will receive slightly increased loads. Concrete slab-on-grade and raised wood
floor systems are anticipated for the garage and living area additions, respectively.
-
c
c
To assist in the preparation of this report, we were provided with a site plan, dated February 27,
2002 and an undated foundation plan, both prepared by Roy R. Blackford Architect. Site
configuration, and the approximate locations of our subsurface explorations are shown on Plate
No. 1.
e
\
c
2. PROJECT SCOPE
c The investigation consisted of: sudace reconnaissance, subsurface exploration, obtaining
representative disturbed and undisturbed samples, laboratory testing, analysis of the field and
laboratory data, and preparation of this report. More specifically, the intent of this analysis was
, to:
a) Explore the subsurface conditions to the depths influenced by the proposed
construction.
c
Rick and Madeline McElroy January 21,2003

Proposed McElroy Residence Additions SCS&TNo. 0211181-1R
b) Evaluate the engineering properties of the various strata that may influence the
proposed development, including bearing capacities, expansion characteristics and
settlement potentials.
c) Evaluate the suitability of existing footings to support new loads.
d) Address potential construction conditions that may be encountered due to subsurface conditions, or groundwater, and provide recommendations concerning these conditions.
e) Develop geotechnical engineering criteria for site preparation.
f) Recommend an appropriate foundation system for the type of structure anticipated and
develop geotechnical engineering design criteria for the recommended foundation
system.
3. FINDINGS
3.1 SITE DESCRIPTION
The project site is located south of and adjacent to Buena Vista Circle in the city of Carlsbad,
California. The site is bordered by Buena Vista Circle to the north and developed residential
properties to the east, south and west. The site is currently occupied by a single-story
residence and associated improvements, including a pool, a spa, wood decks and concrete
flatwork. The site is nearly level, with overall topographic relief of less than about 2 feet.
Vegetation consists of typical residential landscaping, including grass lawns, shrubs and trees.
3.2 SOIL DESCRIPTION
The subject site is underlain by fill, topsoil and native soils. Fill deposits consist of dark reddish-
brown, moist to very moist, medium dense, silty sand with trace of gravel. The fill extends to a
depth of about 2 feet below existing grade. The fill is underlain by approx/mately one foot of
topsoil consisting of dark feddish-brown, moist to very moist, loose to medium dense, silty sand
with trace of gravel. The surficial soils are underlain by native soil consisting generally of gray,
very moist to wet, medium stiff to stiff, silty clay. The uppermost one foot of the-native soil was
found to be wet and soft to medium stiff.
3.3 EXISTING FOOTINGS
An existing footing was exposed in Test Pit No. 2. The footing extends to'a depth of 24 inches,
is 9 inches thick, and appears to be 12 inches wide. The footing is founded on topsoil deposits.
4. CONCLUSIONS
In general, no geotechnical conditions were encountered that would preclude the construction of
the additions as presently proposed, provided the recommendations presented herein are
followed.

SCS&TNo. 0277781-7R
e The site is underlain by about 3 feet of combined fill and topsoil deposits. The topsoil is in a
loose to medium dense condition, while the fill encountered in the test pits was classified as
medium dense. Due to the lack of documentation and uncertainty regarding methods utilized to
place the fill, it is our opinion that the fill and topsoil deposits are unsuitable, in their present
condition, for the support of the proposed additions. In order to mitigate this condition, it is
recommended that new footings extend into native soils. The uppermost 12 inches of existing
soils underlying the proposed g,arage slab and exterior slabs-on-grade should be compacted to
at least 90 percent relative compaction.
The native soils underlying the surficial soils are very highly expansive, and the upper foot is
soft to medium stiff. Due to this condition, heavier than typical foundation reinforcement, as well
as greater than typical concrete slab-on-grade thickness and reinforcement, are recommended.
c
e
7
c
c An additional consideration is the condition of the existing footings. As exposed in Test Pit No.
2, the footings are undersized relative to the very highly expansive soil conditions, and are
founded in loose to medium dense topsoil deposits. It is recommended that existing footings
not be used for the support of new loads unless they are underpinned as discussed in Section -
, 5.2.3. Furthermore, strong consideration should be given to underpinning of any existing
footings that will continue to support existing loads. It should be recognized that the presence of
under-designed footings may result in a higher risk of differential movement between the
additions and the existing structure. This condition should be evaluated by the project structural
engineer.

c
c 5. RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 GRADING
c
5.1 .I Site Preparation
Site preparation should begin with the demolition of existing improvements as needed, and
the removal of the resulting debris, as well as any existing vegetation and deleterious matter
from the areas of the site to be graded or that will support new improvements.
5.1.2 Compressible Soil Removal
It is recommended that the uppermost 12 inches of existing soils undwlying proposed
interior and exterior slabs-on-grade be compacted to at least 90 percent relative ,
compaction, based on the ASTM D1557-00 laboratory test procedure. I

~~ ~~ ~~ -- ~~
5.1.3 Compaction and Method of Filling
All fill placed at the site should be compacted to a relative compaction of at least 90 percent.
Fills should be placed at or slightly above optimum moisture content, in lifts 6 to 8 inches
thick, wifh each lift compacted by mechanical means. Fills should consist of approved earth
material, free of trash or debris, roots, vegetation, or other materials determined to be
unsuitable by our soil technicians or project geologist. Fill material sh,ould be free of rocks
or lumps of soil in excess of 6 inches in maximum dimension.
Utility trench backfill within 5 feet of structures and beneath pavements should be
compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative compaction.
All grading and fill placement should be performed in accordance with the City of Carlsbad
Grading Ordinance, the Uniform Building Code, and the Recommended Grading
Specifications and Special' Provisions attached hereto as Appendix A.
5.1.4 Surface Drainage
Adequate surface drainage is imperative due to the very highly expansive native soils. The
drainage around the proposed building should be designed to collect and direct surface
water away from proposed structure and improvements toward appropriate drainage
facilities. Rain gutters that discharge runoff away from the building ye recommended. *
The ground around the proposed structure should be graded so that surface water flows
rapidly away from the structure without ponding. In general, we recommend that the ground
adjacent to a structure slope away at a gradient,of at least 2 percent. Densely vegetated
areas where runoff can be impaired should have a minimum gradient of at least 5 percent
within the first 5 feet from the structure. Due to the very highly expansive characteristics of
I the foundation soils, drought-resistant landscaping is strongly suggested.
Drainage patterns approved at the time of fine grading should be maintained throughout the
life of the proposed structure. Site irrigation should be limited to the minimum necessary to
sustain landscape growth. Should excessive irrigation, impaired drainage, or unusually high
7
c
rainfall occur, adverse groundwater conditions could develop.
5.1.5 Earthwork
All earthwork and grading contemplated for site preparation should be accomplished in
accordance with the attached Recommended Grading Specifications and Special Provisions
(see Appendix A). All special site preparation recommendafions presented in the sections
above will supersede those in the standard Recommended Grading Specifications. All

embankments, structural fill and fill should ,be compacted to at least 90 percent relative
compaction at or slightly over optimum moisture content. Utility trench backfill within 5 feet
of. the proposed structure should be compacted to a minimum of 90 percent relative
compaction. The maximum dry density of each soil type should be determined in
accordance with ASTM Test D 1557-00, Method A or C.
5.2 FOUNDATIONS
5.2.1 General
New shallow foundations may be utilized for the support of the proposed improvements.
The footings should have a minimum depth of 30 inches below lowest adjacent finish pad
grade (below garage slab subgrade or residence crawl space subgrade) and should extend
at least 6 inches into medium stiff to stiff native soils. Based on our findings, typical footing
depths will be about 3 feet below the crawl space subgrade surface and about 4% feet
below existing exterior pad grade. A minimum width of 12 and 24 inches is recommended
for continuous and isolated footings, respectively. A bearing capacity of 1500 pounds per-
square-foot (psf) may be assumed for said footings. The bearing capacity may be increased
by 113 when considering wind or seismic forces.
5.2.2 Reinforcement
Both exterior and interior continuous footings should be reinforced with at least two No. 5
bars positioned near the bottom of the footing and at least two No. 5 bars positioned near
the top of the footing. This reinforcement is based on soil characteristics and is not intended
to be in lieu of reinforcement necessary to satisfy structural considerations.
5.2.3 Underpinning
All existing footings to receive new loads should be underpinned. In addition, strong
consideration should be given to underpinning any existing footings that will continue to
support existing loads. Underpinning recommendations should be provided by the project
structural engineer based on the geotechnical recommendations in this report.
5.2.4 i Foundation Excavation Observation
It is recommended that alllfoundation excavations be approved by a representative from this
office prior to forming or placement of reinforcing steel.
5.2.5 Settlement Characteristics
The anticipated total and differential settlements for the proposed additions may be
considered to be within tolerable limits provided the recommendations presented in this
report are followed. It should be recognized that minor cracks normally occur in concrete

slabs and foundations due to shrinkage during curing or redistribution of stresses and some
cracks may be anticipated. Such cracks are not necessarily an indication of excessive
vertical movements.
5.2.6 Expansion Characteristics
The prevailing foundation soils are very highly expansive. The recommendations in this
report reflect this condition.
5.3 FOUNDATION PLAN REVIEW
The foundation plans should be ‘submitted to SCS&T for review to ascertain that the
recommendations contained in this report have been implemented, and no revised
recommendations are necessary due to change in the development scheme.
5.4 SEISMIC DESIGN FACTORS
Provided below are seismic design factors applicable to the subject project. The seismic design
factors were determined in accordance with the 1997 edition of the Uniform Building Code.
Seismic Zone 4: Z=0.40
Seismic Source Type: B
Soil Profile Type: SD
Distance to Seismic Source: 8 kilometers
Near-Source Factor N,=l .O
Near-Source Factor N,=l ,l
. Source Fault: Rose Canyon
It is likely that the site will experience the effects of at least one moderate to large earthquake
during the life of the proposed improvements.
5.5 INTERIOR CONCRETE SLABS-ON-GRADE
Interior concrete slab-on-grade floors should have a thickness of at least 6 inches and be
reinforced with at least No. 4 reinforcing bars placed at 12 inches on center each way. Slab
reinforcement should be placed approximately at mid-height of the slab and extend at least 12
inches down into the footings. The slab should be underlain by a 4-inch blanket of clean, poorly
graded, course sand or crushed rock. This <blanket should consist of 100 percent material
passing the 1E2-inch screen and no more than 10 percent and 5 percent passing the #IO0 and
#ZOO sieves, respectively. Where moisture sensitive floor coverings are planned, a 1 0-mil
visqueen barrier should be placed over the sand layer. An additional 2-inch layer of sand should
be placed over the visqueen to allow for proper concrete curing. It is our understanding that this
moisture barrier will allow the transmission of approximately 6 to 12 pounds of moisture per

1000 square feet per day through the slab. If this amount of moisture is excessive, additional
recommendations will be provided by this office. Moisture emission tests should be performed
prior to the placement of floor coverings to ascertain whether moisture emission values are
within the manufacturer’s specification limits.
5.6 EXTERIOR CONCRETE SLABS-ON-GRADE
Exterior driveway and other concrete slabs should have a minimum thickness of 5 inches and
should be reinforced with at least No. 4 bars at 12 inches on center each way.
Joints should be placed in accordance with the American Concrete Institute (ACI) guidelines
Section 3.13. Joints should be placed where cracks are anticipated to develop naturally.
Alternative patterns consistent with ACI guidelines also can be used. The landscape architect
can be consulted in selecting the final joint patterns to improve the aesthetics of the concrete
slabs-on-grade. ’
A 1-inch maximum size aggregate concrete mix is recommended for exterior slabs. A
waterlcement ratio of less than 0.6 is recommended. A lower water content will decrease the
potential for shrinkage cracks. It is strongly suggested that the driveway concrete mix have a
minimum compressive strength of 3,000 pounds-per-square-inch (psi). This suggestion is
meant to address early driveway use prior to full concrete curing. Both coarse and fine
aggregate should conform to the “Greenbook” Standard Specifications for Public Works
Construction.
It would be prudent to consult with a Materials Engineer regarding review of the concrete mix
design, and to retain a Registered Special Inspector to observe placement of the concrete.
i Special attention should be paid to the method of curing the concrete to reduce the potential for
excessive shrinkage and resultant random cracking. It should be recognized that minor cracks
occur normally in concrete slabs and foundations due to shrinkage during curing redistribution of
stresses. Some shrinkage cracks may be expected. Such cracks are not necessarily an
indication of vertical movements or structural distress.
Factors that contribute to the amount of shrinkage that takes place in a slab-on-grade include
joint spacing, depth, and design; concrete mix components; watedcement ratio and surface
finishing techniques. According to the attached undated “Technical Bulletin’’ (see Appendix 6)
published by the Southern California Rock Products Association and Southern California Ready
Mixed Concrete Association, flatwork formed of high-slump concrete (high waterlcement ratio)
utilizing 3/8-inch maximum size aggregate (”Pea Gravel Grout” mix) is likely to exhibit extensive

shrinkage and cracking. Cracks most often occur in random patterns between construction
joints.
5.7 EARTH RETAINING WALLS
5.7.1 Foundations
The recommendations provided in the foundation section of this report are also applicable to
earth retaining structures.
5.7.2 Passive Pressure
The passive pressure for the prevailing soil conditions may be considered to be 250 psf per
foot of depth. This pressure may be increased by 113 for seismic loading. The cqefficient of
friction for concrete to soil may be assumed to be 0.25 for the resistance to lateral
movement. When combining frictional and passive resistance, the friction should be
reduced by one-third. The upper 12 inches of soil should not be considered when
calculating passive pressures for exterior walls.
5.7.3 Active Pressure
The active soil pressure for the design of unrestrained and restrained earth retaining
structures with level backfills may be assumed to be equivalent to the pressure of a fluid
weighing 38 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). An additional 15 pcf should be added to the
aforementioned values for 2: 1 (horizontal to vertical) sloping backfills. These pressures do
not consider any surcharge loads. If any are anticipated, this office should be contacted for
the necessary increase in soil pressure. These values also assume a granular and drained
backfill condition.
5.7.4 Retaining Wall Subdrains and Waterproofing
Retaining wall subdrains should be installed in accordance with the detail presented on
Plate No. 7. Waterproofing specifications and details should be provided by the project
architect. The geotechnical engineer should be requested to verify that retaining wall
subdrains and waterproofing have been properly installed.
5.8 LIQUEFACTION POTENTIAL
Based on, the findings of our. investigation and our knowledge of the soil conditions within the
site vicinity, it is our opinion that the liquefaction potential of the soils underlying the site is
negligible.

6. FIELD EXPLORATION
Three test pits were excavated by the homeowner at the locations indicated on the attached
Plate No. 1. The test pits were logged by a member of our engineering geology staff on
December 6, 2002. These logs are presented on the following Plate Nos. 3 through 5. The
soils are described in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System as illustrated on
the attached simplified chart on Plate No. 2. In addition, a verbal textural description, the wet
color, the apparent moisture and the density or consistency are provided. The density of
I
/
granular soils js given as very loose, loose, medium dense, dense or very dense. The
consistency of silts or clays is given as very soft, soft, medium stiff, stiff, very stiff, or hard. c-
c- Disturbed and "undisturbed" samples of typical and representative soils were obtained and
returned to the laboratory for testing.
7. LABORATORY TESTING c
Laboratory tests were performed in accordance with the generally accepted American Society
for Testing and Materials (ASTM) test methods or suggested procedures. A brief description of
the tests performed is presented below: C.
c
a) CLASSIFICATION: Field classifications were verified in the laboratory by visual
examination. The final soil classifications are in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System.
c b) EXPANSION INDEX TESTS: An expansion index test on a remolded sample was
performed on a representative sample of soils likely to be present at finish grade. The
test was performed on the portion of the sample passing the ##I standard sieve. The
sample was brought to optimum moisture content and then dried back to a constant
moisture content for 12 hours at 230 5 9 degrees Fahrenheit. The specimen was
brought to 50 percent saturation, compacted in two layers in a 4-inch diameter mold, and
then trimmed to a height of l-inch. The specimen was placed in a consolidometer with
porous stones at the top and bottom, a total normal load of 12.63 pounds was placed
(144.7 psf), and the sample was allowed to consolidate for a period of 10 minutes. The
sample was allowed to become saturated, and the change in vertical movement was
recorded until the rate of expansion became nominal. The expansion index is reported
herein as the total vertical displacement times the fraction of the sample passing the #4
sieve times 1000. The results are presented on Plate No. 6

GRADING RECOMMENDATIONS
PROPOSED McELROY RESIDENCE ADDITIONS
2440 BUENO VISTA CIRCLE
CARLSBAD , CALIFORNIA
RECOMMENDED GRADING SPECIFICATIONS - GENERAL PROVISIONS
GENERAL INTENT
The intent of these specifications is to establish procedures for clearing, compacting natural
ground, preparing areas to be filled, and placing and compacting fill soils to the lines and grades
shown on the accepted plans. The recommendations contained in the accompanying report
and/or the attached. special provisions are a part of the Recommended Grading Specifications
and shall supersede the provisions contained hereinafter in the case of conflict. These
specifications shall only be used in conjunction with the geotechnical report for which they are a
part. No deviation from these specifications will'be allowed, except where specified in the
geotechnical report or in other written communication signed by the Geotechnical Engineer.
OBSERVATION AND TESTING
SCS&T shall be retained as the Geotechnical Engineer to observe and test the earthwork in
accordance with these specifications. It will be necessary that the Geotechnical Engineer or his
. representative provide adequate observation so that he may provide his opinion as to whether
or not the work was accomplished as specified. It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to
assist the Geotechnical Engineer and to keep him appraised of work schedules, changes and
new information and data so that he may provided these opinions. In the event that any
unusual conditions not covered by the special provisions or preliminary geotechnical report are
encountered during the grading operations. The Geotechnical Engineer shall be contacted for
further recommendations.
,
If, in the opinion of the Geotechnical Engineer, substandard conditions are encountered, such
as questionable or unsuitable soil, unacceptable moisture content, inadequate compaction,
adverse weather, etc.; construction should be stopped until the conditions, are remedied or
corrected or he shall recommended rejection of this work.
Tests used to determine the degree of compaction should be performed in accordance with the
following American Society for Testing and Materials test methods:

Maximum Density & Optimum Moisture Content - ASTM D 1557
Density of Soil In-Place - ASTM D 1556 or ASTM D 2922
All densities shall be expressed in terms of Relative Compaction as determined by the foregoing
ASTM testing procedures.
PREPARATION OF AREAS TO RECEIVE FILL
All vegetation, brush and debris derived from clearing operations shall be removed, and legally
disposed of. All areas disturbed by site grading should be left in a neat and finished
appearance, free from unsightly debris. \
After clearing or benching the natural ground, the areas to be filled shall be scarified to a depth
of 6 inches, brought to the proper moisture content, compacted and tested for the specified
minimum degree of compaction. All loose soils in excess of 6 inches thick should be removed
to firm natural ground, which is defined as natural soils which possesses an in-situ density of at
least 90 percent of its maximum dry'density. I
When the slope of the natural ground receiving fill exceeds 20 percent (5 horizontal units to I
vertical unit), the original ground shall be stepped or benched. Benches shall be cut into firm
competent formational soils. The lower bench shall be at least 10 feet wide or 1-1/2 times the
equipment width, whichever is greater, and shall be sloped back into the hillside at a gradient of
not less than two percent. All other benches should be at least 6 feet wide. The horizontal
portion of each bench shall be compacted prior to receiving fill as specified herein for
compacted natural ground. Ground slopes flatter than 20 percent shall be benched when
considered necessary by the Geotechnical Engineer.
Any abandoned buried structures encountered during grading operations must be totally
removed. All underground utilities to be abandoned beneath any proposed structure should be
removed from within 10 feet of the structure and properly capped off. The resulting depressions
from the above-described procedure should be backfilled with acceptable soil that is compacted
to the requirements of the Geotechnical Engineer. This includes, but is not limited to, septic
tanks, fuel tanks, sewer lines or leach lines, storm drains and water lines. Any buried structures
or utilities no to be abandoned should be brought to the attention of the Geotechnical Engineer
so that he may determine if any special recommendation will be necessary. All water wells,
which will be abandoned, should be backfilled and capped in accordance to the requirements
set forth by the Geotechnical Engineer. The top of the cap should be at least 4 feet below finish
grade or 3 feet below the bottom of footing whichever is greater. The type of cap will depend on

the diameter of the well and should be determined by the Geotechnical Engineer and/or a
qualified Structural Engineer.
FILL MATERIAL
Materials to be placed in the fill shall be approved by the Geotechnical Engineer and shall be
free of vegetable matter and other deleterious substances. Granular soil shall contain sufficient
fine material to fill the voids. The definition and disposition of oversized rocks and expansive or
detrimental soils are covered in the geotechnical report or Special Provisions. Expansive soils,
soils of poor gradation, or soils with low strength characteristics may be thoroughly mixed with
other soils to provide satisfactory fill material, but only with the explicit consent of the
Geotechnical Engineer. Arly import material shall be approved by the Geotechnicai Engineer
before being brought to the site.
\
PLACING AND COMPACTION OF FILL
Approved fill material shall be placed in areas prepared to receive fill in layers not to exceed 6
inches in compacted thickness. Each layer shall have a uniform moisture content in the range
that will allow the compaction effort to be efficiently applied to achieve the specified degree of
compaction. 'Each layer shall be uniformly compacted to the specified minimum degree of
compaction with equipment of adequate size to economically compact the layer. Compaction
equipment should either be specifically designed for soil compaction or of proven reliability. The
minimum degree of compaction to be achieved is specified in either the Special Provisions or
the recommendations contained in the preliminary geotechnical investigation report.
c
c
c
When the structural fill material includes rocks, no rocks will be allowed to nest and all voids
must be carefully filled with soil such that the minimum degree of compaction recommended in
the Special Provisions is achieved. The maximum size and spacing of rock permitted in
structural fills and in non-structural fills is discussed in the geotechnical report, when applicable.
Field observation and compaction tests to estimate the degree of compaction of the fill will be
taken by the Geotechnical Engineer or his representative. The location and frequency of the
tests shall be at the Geotechnical Engineer's discretion. When the compaction test indicates
that a particular layer is at less than the required degree of compaction, the layer shall be
reworked to the satisfaction of the Geotechnical Engineer and until the desired relative
compaction has been obtained.

TECHNICAL
BULLETIN
3/6” AGGREGATE “PEA GRAVEL GROUT” MIX
FOR USE IN FLATWORK.
*‘Pea gravel” pump mixes are being used in many locations in Southern California forslabs
on grade. Many complaincs of ‘poor’ concrete, mainly cracking, are due to the use of these
mixes. ne ease of placing this “concrete” at long distances from the rczdy-mix truck with
minimum manpower has been the primary reason for the increased use of small line grout
pumps.
Slabs made of high slump concrete improperly cured in any environment, with or without
reinforcement, will shrink excessively and crack extensively. These mixes tend to shrink more
than conventional 1” aggregate concrete mixes because of the need for-more sand or fines
and water to make the mix more fluid or pumpable. This increased shrinkage will cause more
cracking. Minimum cement contents are usually ordered for economy.This makes for a higher
wate;/cernent ratio that also leads to lower strengths and more cracking. .
Freedom from random cracking is desired for all concretefloors. The degree to which random
shrinkage cracking can be reduced is improved by using concrete with a minimum shrinkage
potential that contains the maximum size of coarse aggregate and the maximum amount of
coarse aggegate consistent with placing and finishing methods. A larger 2ggregate size permits
a lower water content in the concrete which resurts in less shrinkage of the ccment paste.
